VAHHINOTON. 1). l. Apr. I. Olio
certain man, junior existing law, has
tho authority In draw from tho ITnltcit
States Treasury all the money It con
tains; the snuie law empowers him In
carry the money away from the Treas
ury and tn expend It as ho sees (It. and
tho law explicitly provides that his no
of the money shall not be subject to
question by anybody whatever This
limn Is Nelson W. Aldrlch, late n Sen
ator front the State of llhnde Island,
ami he holds this unexampled author
Ity by virtue, of his chairmanship of
the National Monetary Commission.
The discovery that Mr Aldrlch In
cluded such n provision In tho law cre
ating the Monetary Commission has
Just been made by the Democrats, and
It Is their purpose to do something
about It. No such unrestricted access
to the Treasury ever beforo wiis given
to any man. At times tho President
of tho United Stales has been voted
authority tn expend larRo sums In his
discretion. This was dono when Con
gress handed over $511,000,0011 to Presi
dent McKlnley with which tn start the
Spanish War. Hut no matter how wldo
tho authority with which the President
has been clothed, Congress always has
placed 11 limit beyond which lie could
not bo. No President ever lias been
authorized by law to spend from tho
public funds any sums ho chose, with
out check or restriction. Hut this Is
exactly what Congress authorized Mr.
Aldrlch to do.
Law Covering Point.
Hero Is what tho law says:
"A sum sulllclent to carry out tho
purposes of this net, and to pay tho
necessary expenses of tho commission
and Its members. Is hereby appropri
ated out of any money In the Treasury
not otherwise appropriated. Said ap
propriation shall be Immediately avail
able and shnll be paid nut on tho audit
ami order of the chairman or acting
I chairman of said rnimiilsslnn, which
audit and order shall ho conclusive mid
1 binding upon all departments as to tho
correctness of tho accounts of such
commission. "
I'niler this sweeping authority Chair
man Aldrlch can exercise his abso
lute sweet will with the money In tho
Treasury, and no olllcer of the govern
meut Is empowered to question him.
Were ho to build himself 11 castle on
tho Ithlne and pay for It with an order
on the United States Treasury, thu
transaction would be perfectly local
anil unimpeachable, provided ho cert I
tled It to bo for tho purpose of carrying
out the objects of tho act creating tho
Monetary Commission.
Slipped Through as "Joker."
Kurh a sweeping and umiualllled en
try to tho funds nf tho country, of
course, would not have been passed,
and could not have been passed, as nn
original proposition That goes with
out saying. Congress with Its eyes
open never would glvo any person such
absolute powers over tho mil tonal
money chest. Therefore, this must
have slipped through lis a little Joker,
Imbedded In other legislation, and that
Is exactly how It did slip through.
It will be remembered that Just aft
er the panic of 190" there was a good
deal of excitement throughout tho
country on account of the refusal of
tho New York banks tn pay back tho
money deposited with them by banks
of tho Interior This was attributed to
the lack of "flexibility" In our mone
tary system, and n demand was mndo
with great Insistence for emergency
legislation to prevent a recurrence of
this situation. A long bill, covering
somo twenty sections, providing the
demanded emergency legislation, was
Introduced and urged through Congress
under whip and spur of another pos
sible panic before It could bo, passed.
It went through, and In tho tall of It
was concealed the provision for tho
Monetary Commission, and In the tall
of the provision for the Monetary
Commission was this authority to Mr.
Aldrlch, to help himself to whatever
money he thought he wanted from tho
t'nlleil States Treasury.
Aldrlch an Expert.
Congress has contained a good many
legislative experts In Its time, but
never one who knew better than Mr.
Aldrlch how to pick tho particular spot
and time and plaen for the Insertion nf
a Joker to make It go through without
detection. Under this peculiar lawyio
hndy has a right to audit, and nobody
has audited, the expenditures nf the
Monetary Commission, It has been ob
served that the commission np.irent
ly was employing experts to dlslrup a
large variety of inoro or less Illumina
tive verbhign on the subject of finance,
and that this matter was being pub
lished. Hut as tn what tho experts
cost or why they worn hired, or whnt
the expenses of the commission In any
other direction have been, and why, of
course nobody knows, except Mr. Al
drlch. Democrats Dujy.
The sltuntlon Is so without prece
dent that the Democrats are searching
for a way to uncover It. If they had
control nf the Senate they could pro
ceed to pass a law repealing tho Mone
tary Commission art und Instructing
the commission to open Its books to
the auditors of the Treasury. Hut It Is
feared Mr. Aldrlch Is too (Irmly In
trenched In tho Senate, what with Ito
publlcan and Democratic reactionaries,
to permit favorable action on snob n
measure At the least, however, It Is
llkclv that the Democratic Houso will
pass a bill and send It to tho Senate
so that the eoiintrv may have Its at
tention sh.irplv railed to the most re
markable piece of hospitality ever ox
eriised bv tho American Congress.

Pineapples Valuable.

not, bowover, drawn by the homestead
ers, but was applied by them In the
payment of accrued Interest, sums ow
ing on acoimt ofc pineapple plants and
cost of plowing. In some Instances
this money was applied In tho reduc
tion of the nmoiyit of mortgages.
"During the three and one-half years
that these homesteaders have occupied
these lots, and outside of any proceeds
from sales of pineapples to tho Kntinl
I'rult I-iiml Co.. they havo paid on
nfcnunt of their mortgages 11 total
sum of twenty-live hundred dollars,
which tends to show tp.it they are sat
isfied with their conditions and dcslro
to clear off as quickly as possible all
euciimbrnnce on their homes.
Average Cost.
"Tho average cost of theso homes,
together with the fencing of the land
and laying on of water, to the home
steaders, has been about throe hundred
ami thirty dollars each. Tho original
cost of these lands per aero ranged
from 0110 dollar to live dollars, and
they were all taken up under what Is
known 11s tho right of purchase lcasa
method, which grants to tho taker
twenty-ono years In which to inaku
payment. Patents can, however, boob
tallied In three years, upon compliance
with certain provisions of tho govern
ment and payment of tho purchase
price.
"t'p'to the present time the main
crop from theso hinds has been pine
apples, but theso homcslcoders are now
engaging quite extensively In tho cul
tivation of sugar cane They also raise
a considerable ipi.iullty of Irish anil
sweet potatoes, as well as corn and
general garden truck. It Is generally
stated by these homeslenders that their
lots benellt them to- the extent nf live
or six dollars; per month In tho way of
vegetables, etc., for I in use, which
would otherwise have to be purchased
by them.
"Tho Irish and sweet potatoes pro
duced by these people are all market
ed locally 011 tho Island of Kauai, none
being sent tu Honolulu. If, however,
some central marketing department
could bo established la Honolulu, as is
coutcmptaUd by a bill now before the
Territorial Legislature. I am llrnily of
tho opinion that this would be a very
great Incentive to these pioplo tu In
crease their activities In the direction
of the raising of all kinds of vegeta
bles. "At the commencement of this set
tlement of Kiilahin lluie wore ninny
dllllcultles to be encountered and over
come by any homesteader desiring to
tako up and cultlvati satisfactorily one
of theseiots, hut for the part two years
there has been developed a greater
feeling of contontimnt and desire to
make permanent homes on tho place.
"At tho piesent time the facilities for
tho transportation of products from
those homesteads consist of good gov
ernment roads to the landings and n
railway connecting with Port Allen,
which was built expressly for the
handling of the products ami labor uf
these people, as well as that of tho
surionnilliig lands The labor of these
homesteaders Is verv generally sold to
the adjoining plantations, and somo of
them arc engaged on government road
work.
"The area of the lots varies from live
to thirty acres, nml there are about fif
teen more lots vacant, these being
mostly In high ami more Inaccessible
places. These remaining vacant low
arc ull of u larger size."

PROMOTION WORK
WILL BE AIDED
Territory and County Both
to Appropriate For
Publicity.
Twelve thousand dollars a year fioin
the Torrltoilul Legislature mid three
thousand from the Honolulu Hoard of
Siipervlsois has been practically agreed
upon for the Promotion Committee for
the next two years, and the Territory's
share will be piuv'ldcd Ih the appropri
ation bill.
I P. It. Iseiils-rg and II. von D.iinin
"f the Promotion Committee, uftir
arguing their needs beforo the llnauro
eomiultlee of the House, were told that
the Legislature would Insist that thu
county should nb-o make an appropri
ation. It being held that Honolulu is
benollteil more by the promotion work
than any other part of tho Islands. So
the special cnmnilltee took the mijtter
up with tbe supervisors, with such
good results that Harry Murray of the
bo.in said yesterday that the city and
county of Honolulu will appropriate
JI.'.O monthly If tho Teirllorlal appro
priation Is passed, as It doublless
will be.
The county supervisors decided J wo
months ago to cut the Promotion Com
mittee oh" Its expense list, but the
showing made has decided It to again
help our publicity for the Islands
However. Chairman Hush and Seere
tary Wood of the Promotion Couiniitlce
are worrying now for fear some or thn
private subscriptions will be with
drawn, the donors thinking the e.uo-
mlltee has plent- of funds from pnbllo
souices ah a 'miter of fact. Secre
tary Wood says that even with the
Territorial ami county appropriation,
the committee will be handicapped, for
the recent outbreak of cholera has cre
ated a situation thai must be uiet unit
ovcrroniH by the most careful as well
Its vvidespre.nl kind of publicity work.
